Chapter 58: When a man is most charming
Su Yunyao just pecked him lightly on the lips and quickly withdrew.
There was an indescribable tenderness in her eyes. She stared at the place she had kissed and suddenly smiled.
"Now that I've kissed you, do I want to take you in as my consort?"
Xu Mubai, who was still immersed in it and unable to extricate himself, suddenly came to his senses after hearing the words. He quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, "Princess, I dare not."
"Why not?"
Su Yunyao's fingertips fell on the corner of his lips, gently stroking them.
"rustic……"
Xu Mubai was so aroused by her that he felt like his whole body was on fire.
Something flashed through his mind and his eyes turned slightly red.
"I cannot compare myself to Lord Shen, let alone General Huo. I am a commoner and unworthy of the princess."
Su Yunyao looked down at him with eyes that were a little drunken.
She grabbed the wine jar beside her with one hand and pinched his cheek with the other.
The wine in the jar poured into his mouth through her raised hand.
I don’t know if he felt like he was being teased, or because the eldest princess had just asked about his background.
An overwhelming feeling of bitterness suddenly surged into my heart.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and flowed silently into the peach blossom wine that overflowed from the corner of his lips and he had not yet had time to swallow it.
Su Yunyao's fingertips paused slightly.
She leaned over and kissed him gently on the spot where the tear had fallen, next to his ear.
"Do you know when a man is most charming?"
The warm breath beside his ears had already made his mind go blank.
Without waiting for him to speak.
Su Yunyao said slowly, "That was... when he cried."
After a pause, she continued, "It was when I made you cry."
With every word she spoke, Xu Mubai's heart would pause for a second.
The tingling sensation at the base of his ears paralyzed all his nerves.
cry?
"Princess, do you like to see me cry?"
Su Yunyao's fingertips gently stroked his cheek, bringing with them a slight tingling sensation that penetrated into the deepest part of his heart.
"No, this princess prefers to see your face."
Xu Mubai's eyes trembled.
So what the Princess meant was...
Can he also become the eldest princess's man?
Su Yunyao seemed to have had enough fun and let go of her hand. "I'm sleepy. Carry me to bed."
Xu Mubai was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the ground and said, "Okay."
Su Yunyao was picked up by him by the waist, her hands hooked around his neck, and her fingertips lightly touched his lips.
Xu Mubai's toes paused noticeably.
The main hall of the princess's mansion was very close to her bedroom, so close that he felt he had just held the princess in his arms and was about to put her on the bed.
The moment their eyes met, he seemed a little afraid to look at her directly and quickly looked away.
"Princess, you are going on a long journey tomorrow. Please rest early. I will be leaving first."
The moment Xu Mubai stood up, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, her eyes full of tenderness as she slowly pulled his collar down.
"Just going back like this? Without doing anything else?"
Do something?
Xu Mubai's heart skipped a beat, and his mind went blank for a moment, and his lips were once again held by the princess.
She slowly loosened her collar and it fell on his chest.
After an unknown amount of time, the wax on the red candle burned into drops of wax oil, rolling down.
Su Yunyao felt a slight pain at the corners of her lips, and she reached out to push him away.
"Go back, I want to sleep."
Su Yunyao pushed him away, turned over and closed her eyes.
Xu Mubai's chest was heaving, but he couldn't get away from the kiss.
He stared at Su Yunyao's profile, straightened his messy clothes, and felt uncomfortable somewhere in his body.
For a while.
He took a deep breath, put on a fox fur cloak, wrapped himself tightly as if to hide something, and then pushed open the door of his bedroom.
Pearl and Coral were guarding outside the temple.
"The princess has fallen asleep. Please take good care of her. I will be leaving now."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Xu," Zhenzhu replied, "I'll have the carriage from the Princess's Mansion take you back."
"Need not."
Paused.
Xu Mubai continued, "Princess, you are so delicate. You will be leaving for the border tomorrow. You will have to sleep in the open air along the way. Please remember to prepare some medicine."
"Yes, I've got that in mind." Zhenzhu bowed.
Wait until Xu Mubai walks away.
Shanhu asked in confusion, "Pearl, what are you doing? He's just the shopkeeper of Jinjinglou. Why are you calling yourself a slave in front of him and even bowing to him?"
Pearl was stunned by the question.
yes!
She is the eldest princess's personal maid and has a high rank.
Why should she bow to a commoner?
But I don’t know why.
She was just stunned by an inexplicable majesty.
It can't be considered a slip of the tongue.
It should be said that it was blurted out instinctively.
After Xu Mubai came out of the princess's mansion, he had just taken two steps when a dark figure flashed before him. His eyes flashed coldly, "Why is it you?"
-
The next morning.
When Su Yunyao was called out of bed by Zhenzhu, it was still dark outside.
She yawned lazily.
"It turns out that humans and animals can empathize with each other. I began to understand chickens, waking up early and screaming."
"I've defeated 99% of the lazy dogs."
"Awake, time to hunt!"
Pearl, Agate, and Coral were all confused: ...
Su Yunyao was in a very bad mood when she woke up. The resentment she had at that moment could feed ten evil sword immortals.
"Princess, Lord Shen's carriage has been waiting outside the Princess Mansion for a long time. You really can't sleep any longer. I have prepared bedding. If you feel sleepy, you can sleep in the carriage later."
Sitting in front of the dressing table, the drowsy Su Yunyao was still thinking, can sleeping in a carriage be compared with sleeping on a bed?
Can you sleep comfortably in such a bumpy carriage?
Just the next second.
She seemed to have grasped something, and suddenly woke up. "What did you just say? Mr. Shen...Mr. Shen?"
Compared to her, the three maids were obviously much calmer.
"Princess, when the Emperor delivered his instructions this morning, you were still asleep, so I didn't wake you. The Emperor said that since you are the eldest princess, even if you need to disguise yourself and go to the border, you can only ride in the Princess Palace's carriage and not pretend to be a soldier. Therefore, the Emperor asked you to follow Lord Shen's carriage to the border."
Su Yunyao slapped herself on the forehead.
Who said that people have sex after drinking?
It's clearly a drunken mistake!
If she knew that Chen Qiu Nian would also go and ride in the same carriage with him, she would never agree even if she was beaten to death.
"What else did my royal brother say?" Su Yunyao looked as if she had lost all hope in life.
"The Emperor said that after you left the palace yesterday, he thought deeply about what you said to him and felt it was right, so he told you to go to the border to find General Huo without worrying about anything else."
Su Yunyao: ...
At this moment, she had the illusion that she had dug a hole, buried herself in it, and then felt that it was not enough, so she got up and sprinkled some dirt on herself.
Su Yunyao asked unwillingly, "Isn't it a female general who went to the border to provide support this time?"
